You know that feeling....

You know that feeling when all the sudden the house is quite. Which is kinda ok because Kathryn is sleeping and Lorin is sitting next to me while I'm showing her how to play a new game on her computer. But then it's not ok because Christian has gone un-accounted for. It's that feeling of frustration because you know he's doing something he's not suppose to or else he wouldn't be so quite about it. And it's the feeling of dread because you have to go confront him and maybe get really mad if he's coloring on the walls with permanent marker again. But it's a feeling of relief because I know at least he's not torturing Kaki or bathing her in toilet water again because at least she's in her bed.
You know that feeling because any mother of a two year old(especially a boy) has had that feeling, if not every day. So after it's been a while and it's still quite I had to go investigate. And of course Lorin had to come along because she has no greater joy than when she gets to see her brother get in big trouble.
But while I'm walking down the stairs to find out what that bugger is doing I start hearing something, like a radio, or no, it's the TV. And hey I recognize those voices it's the Chipmunks. So then I ask how in the world did he turn on a movie. It's so complicated to figure out what controller you play with first, but yep I'm sure it's the Chipmunks movie and I know I didn't leave it on. So this is what I find in the living room....

Christian lounging on the Ottoman, sure enough, watching The Chipmunk movie, but there's more..

He decided to help himself to some snacks. He left the snack baggies on the island and what was left of the chocolate chips on the table. What a healthy snack, don't you think?

The best part, he was completely zonked!!

The poor little man was so tired. We had the worst night last night. When Christian gets sick he gets this cough that sounds like purgatory!! Every time he gets sick it goes strait to his chest. I know that he's going to have asthma, they wont diagnose him with it yet. But we have two inhalers and he's been on a liquid form of steroids 4 times since he's been born!! So since we've had the worst possible air quality it has irritated his allergies, which has gotten him coughing, which keeps him up at night, which keeps mommy up at night. So after a visit at the Dr's office today t0 get some antibiotics for his double ear infections and tonsillitis and another round of liquid steroids to keep his cough at bay, obviously long enough for him to put on a movie, get a snack and crash on the Ottoman!!
So you know that feeling when you see your little man sleeping on the Ottoman not doing all the things you were running through your head you thought he was doing. It's that feeling of love and relief!!
